Yeap. That's what Nvidia is trying to do from the day APUs became a reality. Create higher price points for GPUs. AMD with 290/290X pricing spoiled it in the begging, but the prices in US because of mining, saved Nvidia's plan to increase gpu prices, at least for now.Reply

Just another Nvidia show. ...... MehTalking about a product 2 years in the future, when they havent delivered the product they talked about in the previous show (Maxwell, Tegra5/K1) .This talk is seriously to woo back the investors.Reply

It's a chip to chip solution, not cpu to chip. Thus have different design goals, like not needing tons of pins/traces like PCIe. If they would take it to PCI-SIG nothing would stop any vendor from using it. Especially not those that do add-in boards like AMD.Reply

NVlink looks like it bring PCIe outside the CPU chip back into the Chipset hence allowing HSA design in the Intel infrastructure. Though not as good as AMD, it might be enough to utilise the GPU power for its intended tasks. It would seem to be a replacement for the primary PCIe GPU port on the PC. This is not such a bad idea if the industry license it for free to everyone.We seemed to have come to a time where even PCie 3.0 is being bottlenecked so a replacement would be in order. Reply

I do not think so, they just kept a low profile for Denver becuase there is no rush in the market, nor demand for 64bit Android chips as yet. Besides, they would need the optimizations to ensure competitiveness due to the time duration, so plenty of work effort in the time to do it properly. Maybe waiting for 20nm to get cranking in a big way as well.Reply
